contemporary Native music and entertainment will be
highlighted on
Stage 49
featuring Native musicians performing in all genres
of music (country, reggae, rhythm and blues,

The Gathering of Nations is an
experience for all people, Indian and
non-Indian. To see the colorful dancing and to
hear the songs becomes an enlightening and
emotional happening...
For everyone!
Over
3,000 indigenous / Native American / Indian dancers
and singers representing more than 500 tribes from
Canada and the United States come to Albuquerque
annually to participate socially and competitively.
The
trading of intercultural traditions and crafts is an
experience for all who attend. The
Indian Traders Market offers a very special
shopping experience and exhibition of Native
American artifacts. Over 800 artists, crafters, and
traders will place their wares on display and for
sale.
As part of the Gathering of
Nations, a young Native American Woman will be
crowned Miss Indian World
and represent all Native and Indigenous people as a
cultural goodwill ambassador.
Dozens of Native American
and Indigenous women representing their different
tribes and traditions will compete in the areas of
tribal knowledge, dancing ability, and personality
assessment.
